This doesn't follow. The economy is not a zero-sum game. edit: presuming a sufficiently elastic money supply.
I think people misunderstand a bit. It isn't wealth that is the problem as such. It is that wealth is a symptom of inequality. If you for example have good accessible schools for much of the population where having a privileged background doesn't matter much then naturally it will be relatively hard to get rich because there is so much competition.
